Dancing with Butterflies By Adrienne Barr

Leah is a beautiful girl who loves to dance. Every day she learns new moves from her teacher and practices at home in front of a big mirror. Leah imagines herself dancing on the big stage in front of the audience, but she also has a fear of facing the audience. Leah feels butterflies in her tummy, but with the help of her mother and simple breathing techniques, she overcomes her fear and is ready to face the audience for her first dance recital.

This book mainly to educate children and parents on the power of meditation and breathing techniques to overcome anxiety.
This book encourages African-American children to recognize that beauty is skin deep, so they have the confidence to dance their way to their dreams!

Great story

I absolutely loved how the author incorporated mindfulness techniques into the story. This is a must have for children, especially those who perform (sports, dance, singing, etc). The illustrations were wonderful! I love how the mom had braids! Lbvs
